"Throw away the image of the god of the whites who has so often brought down tears and listen to liberty which speaks in all our hearts"
~ Bookman Dutty

"In 1791, Bookman Dutty articulated the African declaration of Spiritual, intellectual, and cultural freedom, and on Auguse 14 of that same year, he launched the war against the most brutal project in the history of humanity. This prayer, which evoked the Haitian Revolution, should always guide us as we wage war against our oppression: (pg. 1.)

"When African peoples reunite with African history and culture, solutions to the other problems will be possible" (pg. 2)

"The war is truly, as Anderson Thompson says, a battle for the African mind....a battle to free the African mind" (pg. 2)

"The method of liberation is to fee the African mind through research, creative production, Spiritual development and education....."(pg. 13)

"Our people are subjected to an educational process and content that, either by design or as an unavoidable by-product, deforms most African minds. This is so whether the individual student fails or succeeds vis-'a-vis the standard imposed by the system. That is, the 'A' student is as much IF NOT MORE damaged than the 'F' student. In fact, the miseducated are probably more disadvantaged than the diseducated" (pg. 14)
